Director Sujoy Ghosh's
Kahaani 2-Durga Rani Singh will hit the theatres on December 2 as against November 25. While the movie starring Vidya Balan and Arjun Rampal, was scheduled to release on the November 25, producer Jayantilal Gada of Pen India decided to shift the date of release of
Kahaani 2 in order to avoid a clash at the box office with Mahesh Bhatt, a filmmaker he has shared a close association with over the years.
It was recently announced that the Shah Rukh Khan-Alia Bhatt starrer
Dear Zindagi will release on November 25 and producers Gada and Bhatt had a conversation to avoid the clash. The makers of
Kahaani 2 then decided to postpone the release date.
Says Bhatt, "I have known Jayantilal Gada for several years now and we are like family. Both
Kahaani 2 and
Dear Zindagi are unique films and deserve a solo release. And it will also help both films in the long run."
Gada says, "Bhatt Saab is associated with us for our leading TV shows;
Udann and
Naamkarann but more importantly Alia and he are like family to us. There can never be any competition within families, hence I have decided to release my film on December 2."
